actually MS beat Mozilla for language support.[1] Its just that mozilla dont do language support as a function of popularity but because its OS as a function of who cares.
You clearly dont have a clue about anti-competitive practices of Microsoft and how monopolies & cartels stop market forces working, meaning that "We are the ones who vote with our dollars, and so, if you don't like Microsoft, or their software doesn't get the job done for you, then don't pay them your money." doesn't really apply when there is no other option.
We'll mr mac = unix, care to explain Itunes. Apple do not play by unix methodology for anything they've built themselves, so if I want a unix system id be better of with linux, which isn't even Unix based, because even something like KDE sticks to more of the core tenants of unix than Mac os X. *all configuration in files *small programs that link together *treating lots of stuff like files
which bounces both horizontal and vertical waves simultaneously. Such radars can distinguish between a plane, a flock of birds and rain. Some say they are so accurate, they can actually measure a single drop of rain. Some people are also trying to sell you that crap
Sure but then get the fanboys that say stuff like "if you want proper unix use a mac" to STFU
and in the age of GUI its not hard to have 1 app launch others and integrate them into itself seamlessly. e.g kontact looks and acts like a mail/calander/note taking/rss/syncing app but it just calls the actual apps
Vista may well be the first OS microsoft makes that comp.sci/IT people/knowledgeable folk can enjoy more than the layman. What when they all switch to linux?:P
Yeah but they do tie you to having a job, if you currently have a good healthcare plan, your going to stick with your job instead of shooting for better and risking being unemployed needing healthcare.
The iPhone is quickly rising, so it may, in a few years, become the #1 smartphone, with heavy reliance on Safari Mobile, OS X Mobile, and of course, iTunes and QuickTime. I never quite get that, apple fan boys are always so quick to point to appls unix roots, but then BAM theres itunes the single biggest clusterfuck of a program you could imagine.

Now im hope most of the components (and i know for the browser) are just relying on other backend stuff, but to be remotely unix like they would have to atleast be launchable as seperate programs
Nah, the article got it all wrong, those were just the tester salaries, and as apple employ monkeys, so they can guarantee an easy to use interface( it also explains the whole one button thing, opposable thumbs and all that) the salaries are really good.
I ran firefox3 fine on a computer with 128MB (running a full DE) but right now its using 700MB on a system with 1GB, it will eat whatever ram you have but no more. If you dont want firefox to use much ram just ask it nicely not to use more than X amount, and it wont.
3PDFs (meaning theyre handled by an external plugin, meaning you have 3 external instances of PDF viewers running, each ofc wants to let you browse the PDF so the 5MB PDF will have been converted into an x page high quality image and a y page low quality image, which could easily be 200MB depending on which pdf viewer your using.

yawn you trolled the other story with this already.
In fairness the old firefox used to run on no libraries that wernt part of a standard install
Actually the cake is probably an in joke in retaliation for the IE4 launch joke, if only JWZ was there to "appreciate" it.

Well that about sums it up, all the anti/pro china/microsoft shills can go home^h^h^h outside because this post hits the nail on the head.

This is slashdot, only the ACs know what their talking about, being to smart with your first post makes heads asplode.
Not giving a time doesnt bother me, youve got a whole day to download it, probably people rushing to be the first that caused it to crash

Why I'm not stopping YOU from using it.

Interesting, on a slightly faster system with low ram, i found the oposite to be true, suppose its best to test both.
